HiBot Corporation, since its establishment, has been committed to the development of practical robotic solutions for extreme environments. It is now engaging in the development of products for performing dangerous jobs, such as inspections where human should not or cannot go. The use of robots, not only can make the operator’s working environment safer, but can also lead to a higher level of efficiency and reliability of inspection and data collection, which is used for preventive/predictive maintenance of infrastructures.
In his talk, Michele Guarnieri, will be presenting several robotic developments with showing videos and photos of each system. www.hibot.co.jp
